I didn't know what category to put texting and in particular texting between ham radio HT's. I think this is an upcoming topic area which would possible include DSTAR and newer APRS protocols which have their own forums. Texting as per packet radio will often find a radio path to the destination when voice would not, over the same path. This phenomena is similar to texting over the cellphone network when a constant voice transmission is not possible a text message can find a path for the few seconds needed. What do you think ... a separate forum for VHF texting? nL7sx
